Hi all,



I've unfortunately clipped an errant traffic cone with my pitot/static probe whilst taxiing; discovered after takeoff with no functioning altimeter/asi/vsi. The static probe appears to have a broken stub of plastic tube in the end, but I don't know what has broken off. Does anyone have a picture of the standard XS probe? I expect full functionality will resume if I block the end and drill the side of the static tube to create a vent, albeit with recalibration of ias/tas.

HI Rick



Did mine while washing the underside of the wing.  Plugged the end and 

drilled a small hole straight through the tube, ie one hole each side.  

Been working fine for 10 years with no difference in ias.



Regards



Pete



PS this solution has the advantage you can't knock the end off again.

That's the kind of fix I like!



What size hole did you drill Pete?

That's perfect Jerry, I can 3D print that in 10 mins.



I would buy from Europa are they appear to be closed at the moment.
